My Only Child by Sam Vickery

My Only Child by Sam Vickery is a story about a young family going through heartbreak. The family is pregnant with twins and are ecstatic. They keep the twins a secret, planning to surprise their extended family. Then Kathleen goes into labor early and during the delivery, one of the babies is lost. Also to save her life, the doctors must preform a hysterectomy. Kathleen struggles with her lost child and that they can't have any more children.

This book will tug at your heartstrings. It reveals the difficult recovery after life changing events made worse by the fact that you cannot fully lean on anyone. Kathleen decides not to tell everyone about the lost twin and so cannot fully grieve.

It is also a story of Kathleen's mother, Hazel. Hazel sees her daughter is struggling but cannot convince her to open up and ask for help. Hazel has her own past to struggle with also.

The outcoming theme of this book is that it is ok to let people into your life and ask for help. I think we all need that reminder sometimes.

Don't miss this book when it is published next week on 2November!!!
